••• Buildings near 65 Franklin (as the new 19-story building at 360 Broadway is being called) have received requests for access for pre-construction surveys and monitoring. The rendering below is from February (and it doesn’t show the 18-story L-shaped building planned for behind it, with frontage on Franklin and Broadway; the status of that project is unknown). P.S. That stretch of Broadway has really had it rough in recent years, between the Cast Iron House conversion and the construction of 5 Franklin Place and 108 Leonard.

••• Someone on Twitter said that Paper Source (chain selling gift wrap, etc.) is opening a Tribeca store inside an existing café. (They’ll share the space.) I’m drawing a blank on where that could be. UPDATE: It’ll be in Maman, to the left right as you walk in, and it opens on Thursday.

••• For weeks now, OpenTable’s list of Manhattan neighborhoods, as accessed via searching “Manhattan” on the home page, has stopped at Houston Street. (Also missing: the Upper West Side and Harlem. But Rockefeller Center is there?) The company is a case study in how to ruin something good.

••• I heard that the retail space at 371 Broadway—the back of 5 Franklin Place—is going to be a bank. (Perhaps a branch of TD Bank, which backed out of the Cast Iron House?) But then I heard from someone else that it’ll be a pop-up.

••• A reader asked about this a few weeks back, and to be honest, I forgot about it. But then I noticed it myself…. There’s a wire (it looks like it’s for cable) coming out of a manhole labeled MCTV on W. Broadway, in front of Distilled; it’s strung up a lamppost, then around the corner to White Street (via a couple of trees), where it leads to the building that Town Stages is in—although I can’t tell if it goes to the ground floor or the roof. The wire is often only seven feet or so above the sidewalk. (I went a little crazy with the arrows.) Anyone know who’s responsible and what it’s for? UDPATE: James has the answer; see the comments.
